My friend and I have been having an argument: Is Han Solo (from Star Wars) a robot? I've been losing sleep over this. He says he has photographic evidence, but I have yet to see it.

I figured people around here would have some sort of knowledge in this area. Intelligent reasoning not required in replies.

Han Solo is a robot about as much as my hand is shortlisted to win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

You know, I think that has to be the most unintentionally bizarre question I've ever seen here. The man deserves a prize.

I gladly accept my award. I would like to thank Satan for doing evil in the world, and my mom for doing my dad.

Actually, the bizarre part is that this really came up in conversation. We arguing about if carbonite would kill someone. I pointed out that Han Solo didn't die, and he said that Han was a robot. I said a robot would short-circuit, but he said there was lithium in the carbonite. I said a lithium battery-powered robot couldn't feel emotion, and it spiraled into stupidity from there.

I think it spiraled into bizarre stupidity, but started stupidly.

Han Solo is not a robot. I have read the lastest Star Wars books and two of his kids are dead already. So ha! The universe will die! (P.S. Please don't think of me as a huge star wars fan, just a person that likes the star wars books).

Sounds oddly familiar... But I guess it couldn't be a paraphrased snip of Justin's acceptance speech for Tool's grammy, because that would be just plain silly.

A Robot!!?

Of course he's not a robot. Han solo is a hard light hologram. Surely everybody knows this Posted Image ! Either that or he drinks 120 cups of coffee a day. How else could someone survive the carbonite job...

Just so you know, the "friend" is NOT me.

Just out of curiosity, what's the current vote count, dude3?

I will start referring to this friend as "Clint", because that's what his name is.

The current vote count is approximately a bazillion to 5. You'd think that would be enough, but he still says he has pictures. I can't see them though, because it's packed in a box filled with documents that prove he's right in stupid arguments.

What is anyone gonna do? Come to Thomas Jefferson High School in Topeka, Kansas and look for us? Whoops.

Anyway, we've moved onto new and more idiotic things. Thanks to everyone for posting their insignificant opinions.
